The Last
Rose of Summer
Image of pink rose
and green leaves
'TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUM-MER,
LEFT BLOOM-ING A - - - - - LONE;
ALL HER LOVE-LY COM - - - PANIONS
ARE FA - - - DED AND GONE;
NO FLOW'R OF HER KINDRED,
NO ROSE - - - BUD IS NIGH, . . .
TO RE - FLECT BACK HER BLUSHES,
OR GIVE SIGH FOR SIGH:
I'LL NOT LEAVE THEE, THOU LONE ONE,
TO PINE ON THE STEM:
SINCE THE LOVELY ARE SLEEPING,
GO, SLEEP THOU WITH THEM:
THUS KINDLY I SCATTER
THY LEAVES O'ER THE BED,
WHERE THY MATES OF THE GARDEN
LIE SCENTLESS AND DEAD.
SO SOON MAY I FOLLOW,
WHEN FRIENDSHIPS DECAY,
AND FROM LOVE'S SHINING CIRCLE
THE GEMS DROP AWAY:
WHEN TRUE HEARTS LIE WITHER'D,
AND FOND ONES ARE FLOWN,
OH! WHO WOULD INHABIT
THIS BLEAK WORLD ALONE?
